A phone CPU challenging a top of the line desktop GPU is crazy.

I don't think it's fair to look at Canada as a monolith. Quebec is generating most of its energy from hydro, whereas Ontario relies on a well established nuclear energy infrastructure. Provinces that need to change are Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

Edit: Manitoba actually relies on hydro for 97% of their usage. So correction: only Alberta and Saskatchewan!

From the blogto article linked by op:

He says that "After a couple of sips, it became soggy and started to stain. Thereafter, I could taste a few small lid pieces in the drink, which was like 'yuck.'"

Yep sounds like terrible design and Tim's cheapen out in the material. I've had non plastic caps that were much better than that.

You know what would bring us back to the good old days? A real ceramic mug you can use to sit down, drink it slowly and enjoy. But I haven't been to a Tim's in a while where the server would ask if I wanted a mug or to go. Maybe the lady would call that woke too?

The real story:

Just 10 per cent of Canadians who think there is too much immigration say their concern is that Canadians will become “a minority” in their own country. Only eight per cent say new immigrants don’t adhere to Canadian values and just four per cent believe that immigration is bringing criminals to the country. Eighteen per cent worry that immigrants are taking jobs from Canadians.

Nice, now we just need 80 CPUs and we won't need a GPU anymore!

He will probably become partner by 30.

Because of his skills? Probably not; he didn't graduate from a T6, didn't have a bachelor from an ivy league, didn't intern at a V10. Maybe his parents have connections, idk, but without connections it's hard for him to "make it".

But it doesn't really matter for any law firm. Just being able to say "youngest partner in the history of the firm/US" is a good enough marketing tactic, especially to recruit younger associates with the hope that they, too, can "make it" while still young.

In his 30s, he will be able to work with other "genius" clients with a background in tech, biotech, finance, etc. people who successfully built billion-$ startups by their 30s. If we think about it, no law firm would pair a 65-yo partner with Mark (for any reason he would need a law firm) when Facebook just IPO'd. He would be the perfect person for that, especially with the whole "genius kid from SoCal" label he will be able to carry around.

So whichever law firm that hires him have an interest in retaining him (and avoid burning him out like they'd do for the average associate that didn't go to HYSCCN).

The cost of these registration services for verifying phone numbers when people first install Signal, or when they re-register on a new device, currently averages around $6 million dollars per year.

That's pretty crazy. Wonder which third party providers they are using. Maybe the identity verification methods we have today is due for some significant changes?

The blog reported that Copeland, a Republican, confirmed that the accounts were run by him, saying they were a “hobby” he used for “getting rid of stress.” 1819 News reported that Copeland asked them to not out him, but they did so anyway, even though it does not appear he had taken any public positions against LGBTQ issues that could be construed as hypocritical.

This trailer looks pretty promising, the art style looks somewhat similar to Monster.
